Carter Harrison Revived.

CHICAGO, ILL, March Sit is as
serted at the Democratic headquarters
this morning that Carter II. Harrison
will yet head the ticket next Tuesday.
It is believed that his mind is now in a
receptive condition and that it is only
necessary to bring to bear arguments of
sufficient strength to induce him TO once
more reverse his latest decision and run
for mayor. The party is full of divisions,
and there is faction at each street cor
ner. Harley Kerr, chairman of the Cook
county club, and his followers are said to
be lying low waiting for Harrison to
take the nomination.
The government building crowd is di-
vided. The postoffice people are against
Harrison because w. G. Gaudy is, while
the custom house people, on the other
hand, are supporting Harrison because
the postoffiCe crowd are against him. 1t
remains to be seen whether all these dis
cordant elements can be harmoniZed
in view of Harrison being the only avail
able candidate. The committee of five
Democrats appointed at last nights
meeting to select a candidate for mayor,
called on Mayor Harrison to day and in
duced him to accept the nomination for
mayor. Lie uGu1D6IS VI GI6
said this afternoon that Mr.. Harrison had
accepted and would positively make the
race. City Collector w. j. Onahan was
seen by the committee this morning and
was rendered the nomination for city
treasurership and accepted it.
Late this afternoon report was start
ed that the Subcommittee had seen
Carter Harrison and that he had again
changed his mind and that he would be
the name of the fourth Democratic con-
vepuon When confronted with this
rumor, the mayor replied: GOA,
good God, can't you let
tired, jaded, weary old man
rest; 1 am out of politics and am going
to stay out. 'SpOse you saw the state
ment that was going to run in the news
paper? Isn't that conclusive evidence
that it is lie?"
There are thirty-one adherents of Har-
risOn on the committee while there are
but thirteen members who are known to
be opposed to him.
